Chapter 2. The Test

Ring, ring.

Slowly I shifted my eyelids, the bright sunlight beamed into my eyes and thought: morning already? I looked at my alarm clock, 7.30 am. I changed into my new school uniform, and thought the uniform is stupid, well which school uniform is not stupid? I grabbed my bag and chucked onto the sofa near the door. I head for the bathroom and refreshed myself for a new start. Then I grabbed my bag and went out. I never liked eating breakfast and I am too lazy to cook anyway, my parents had left early for work, they never actually looked after me properly except left some money and a note on the table or fill up the fridge with food.

While walking to the school, I happened to notice a boy in front of me, I could not see his face, but he has light brown hair, just about his tennis regular jacket's collar and a tennis gear bag hung around his left shoulder. I felt my paces are slowing down; I shook my head and walked faster.

After reporting to the principle, I collected my timetable, chose my club activity and I headed for my class. The class had already begun; I knocked on the door slightly.

"Coming."

I glide opened the door and went inside; there is just around 30 students in a class.

"This is Aniles Chan, she's new, and everyone please be nice to her! Now you may go and sit next to Anehta Chan. Now we can begin our lesson."

I walked towards where I am suppose to sit, but I stop at a table in front of it, that boy, it is that boy with the light brown hair, I think he sensed me stare at him.

So he spun around and take out a hand, "Nice to meet you, I am Fuji, Fuji Syusuke." I shook his hand slightly and nodded, I head for my spot.

Great, I think somehow I upsets the girl next to me, but I haven't even spoken to her, I barely know her! Her book has written Mrs. Fuji all over it! What a messy book.

I asked, "Isn't your name Anehta? Why did you scribble Mrs. Fuji all over it?"

" Because I am his girlfriend and no one is taking him away from me!" With that I think I know why is she so angry, she's jealous that I am talking to Fuji san and she thinks that I might like him too. She held out her hand, and I took it politely, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain, she's actually pushing her nails into my flesh, I wanted to scream but I know that I can't, I am not going to make enemies on the first day! I bit my lower lip; she released it after a second or two. I sat there for the whole period and thought that sure is a bad aura.

The second period is math for me. The math teacher is pretty strict, he wants us to do a test today to see what level we are on, sort us into groups, and it will go on our report. After about 20 minutes, suddenly something white caught my eyes. Oh, no that girl next to me is throwing a paper ball onto my table. I don't dare even touch it, cause if the teacher caught me, it will be cheating going on the report. But she keeps tossing those things onto my table. The teacher thought since I am new so he ignored for once and twice, but the third time he simply walked around my table and snaps.

"Hey girl. Pack your things and leave, score 0. Cheating will go on your reports!" The teacher announced.

"But I didn't cheat." Of course I am not going to leave like that.

"Then where does all these paper come from?" He picked up one of those papers.

"She tossed it onto my table." I blurred out the truth and peeked around me, I am so embarrassed, and being caught cheat in front of your crush is not something you wanted to do.

"She as in Anehta?" the teacher asked me questioningly.

"Yes."

"You know you have a really bad luck about lying, you can pick anyone in the class, she is one of my favourite student, ranked 2nd in the whole grade. Why would she do such things?"

"But she really did!" I argued.

"No excused. Out of my class, NOW!" he shouted at the top f his lung.

I quickly packed my things and ready to go, I took another glance at the boy and then I left. I wander around the schoolyard, I wanted to cry, want to shout for my innocence. I went inside the toilet and suddenly the phone rang. It is Atobe Keigo; I flipped up the phone and answered it.

"Hello!"

"Are you feeling fine on your first day?" He asked

I can't make him worry about me so I lied, "Yeah, I am doing fine."

"You know you can always get help from me, don't you?"

"How are you suppose to help, you are kilometres away in Hyotei, another school!" I asked jokingly, I know he can help me from distance, but I just want to know how.

"There are ways, I can always hire someone with you,"

"No way, every one will be scared of me!"

"Then I can ask Tezuka Kun to help you."

"Who is that?"

"He is the captain of the Seigaku Tennis club."

"Talk about tennis regulars, I did meet one on the street today, with light brown hair, I think his name starts with F."

"That is Fuji Syusuke."

"Yeah, that's it how do you know?"

"Tennis match!"

"Yeah, I should have known, well, I am glad to hear from you but I got to go now, ok?"

"Yeah, Bye." With that he chopped the phone.

Later on that day, every thing went fine. At home, I wrote down every detail of the day especially the test in my diary. Then I went for bed.
